I just got a pod in for my cb 250 and was wondering what people did as far as oiling the filter. Is that something I should do? What is the best way to do it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I actually feel dumb asking this. I'm had VM30's with K&N's but haven't oiled them since I got them (about 500 miles ago. The carbs run great and are jetted perfectly. Will oiling them effect performance at all?
Darn. I figured an $11 filter wouldn't last too long. I'm going to look into getting a K&N filter. I think I was having trouble finding one in the size I needed or something, which is why I went with Emgo. Thanks!

They don't require frequent service. K&N says clean them every 50,000 miles. The dirt that accumulates on them actually improves their filtering ability.
The correct amount of oil will not affect jetting. If over-oiled, they will drip.
BTW, Jacob, check K&N's instructions for cleaning and oiling. You can ruin them with improper handling, for instance, NEVER blow compressed air through them. It tears up the media.
I just ordered the VM30 carb kit from Dime City, it comes with pod filters but I'm not sure what brand they are... They're probably not gonna be K&N's though.
